The only keys that are inherently "handed" (that I can think of anyway) would be bugs. The others are mostly ambi. A few have finger pieces that go one way or the other, like the Vibro-keyer. But I think it's just a matter of taking out a screw and turning the finger pieces over if you want to convert them.

I have just started learning CW. I was wondering if any companies make single lever left handed equipment, or if the equipment is such that it can be changed over?

Just reverse the dit and dah wires...or maybe I am not understanding the problem.

On a semiautomatic key (or "bug"), there are no separate dit/dah terminals, only one set of normally-open contacts used to key the transmitter directly, with no keyer involved. If you're left handed, you can special-order a southpaw Vibroplex.
